"Population is an asset rather than liability comment ?

It depends On my what aspect you're looking at it from. According to the theories of population growth and resources, Malthus theory states that population growth will cause resources to deplete to a point where resources (earths carrying capacity) are unable to support the population resulting in the Malthusian crisis. When the crisis happens, there will be positive checks in place such as droughts an famines to lower the population until a sustainable number for resource usage. This is supported by many Neo Malthusian theories aka modern interpretations but one main fact is that this was said in the 18 century and back then it was simply an agrarian society.

Hence there was boserup's theory which was based on necessity is the Mother of invention ( I think I got this quote wrong) and that basically when population growth increase there will be more technology and improvements to society to increase resources available for usage. Which is largely supported by the high dependence on agriculture in agriculture and technological advancements over the years such as the green revolution and industrial revolution,

Ultimately I support Malthusian theory as it makes sense that no matter what, population will always be a liability in terms of resource usage.

what concerns did Zhang Han have in trading with foreigners please help I need to pass and please explain ASAP

Citrus2011 [14]

Zhang Han famously wrote on the disadvantages of a tribute system. During his time, China had a limit on national and international trade regarding what kinds of goods could be traded and at what amount. Zhang Han argued that China should lessen this trade limit to make a more free efficient economy to let Chinese citizens prosper and for foreign traders to be attracted to China’s enormous land packed with precious resources and knowledge. Along with this, Zhang Han also added that the infamous piracy would inevitably regress (start to stop) because the reason for pirate merchants was the states harsh limit on its own citizens’ trade opportunities. Good luck passing bro.

Answer:

implicit prejudices

Explanation:

Implicit prejudices occur out of social conditioning and environment or learned association. This is also known as stereotyping where an individual unconsciously attaches certain attributes or qualities to a group of people and is therefore unable to control this prejudice or bias. This is seen in one's dislike for a group such as a family, tribe or race.

alexandr1967 [171]

Joshua is currently consuming the optimal (utility-maximizing) quantities of tuna and ham when the price of tuna suddenly decreases. He will respond to this price change by increasing the consumption of tuna as his purchasing power will increase.

Whenever the price of a commodity is decreased, it increases the purchasing power of the consumer and hence the consumer will increase the demand of the goods as well. The consumer will be able to save more money as their expenses are reduced.

According to the law of demand and supply, demand and supply are related to each other and also affect the price of the commodity. The price tend to increase when the supply is lower than the demand and the price tend to increase when the supply exceeds the demand.
